Undying Memories
A memory
Is lost in time,
Stamped out, forgotten
By chance or necessity,
Too painful to remember
To powerful to
Forget.
----------------
I see faces,
Dead flowers, angry voices
Where none exist
Or ever were.
----------------
Just bare walls,
Empty hallways
Filled with the pictures
Of my mind.
----------------
You remember,
Long to forget
Just as I do.
----------------
Memories never die.
----------------
Through the darkness
Foul fingers caress ,
Weaving ice around my heart,
Hiding away
In loneliness.
----------------
These memories entwine us,
Hold us in this world of pain,
All there is.
----------------
The past is now,
Not then.
----------------
One step forward,
Three steps back.
How long until
The steps reverse
So we can move on,
Free of the past?
----------------
Echoes in silence
We hear them
We know.
Mistakes of the past,
Chance to grow.
----------------
Help me make my memories
Not washes of pain,
Just a blink of an eye.
----------------
I will still remember
Invisible faces,
Tangent dreams.
